Hey Guys - thanks in advance for all the quick responses for my past questions/issues btw

On a 1/72 Sherman kick and doing a Trumpeter for the first time. I'm sizing up the sprocket with small metal shims that fit perfect to extend the sprocket 1.5mm to accept the OKB t-48's.

It seems like its more like 1.25mm but wondering if anyone has done this with a Trumpeter as it's the most shimming required of the brands I'm building (Heller 1mm, Dragon .5mm and 1.5 for Trumpeter)

My concern is that the road wheels and idler will look like they are "swimming" in that track width on the finished model. Any thoughts on this????

I'm thinking using OKB's only on Heller or better yet Dragon, will be the better option but the Trumpeter tracks are pretty bad.
